If it were the off season and I was having trouble renting I may consider it again but overall I don't think it is worth the extra vacancy but if you are doing MTR it is definitely worth making the right connections. 

Would be nice to know a local GC here in the Tampa area that's seasoned in that kind of a task!

REI wise-- I don't know if it's seasonality, rates, or what, but I'm noticing more DOM than ever in most of my markets, inventory trending up, and some savvy real estate agents getting in front of the price action.

We make the design but we let our landscapers choose the actual types of plants based on season and cost. 

It has all been a learning experience and I feel seasoned enough in my knowledge to know a deal when i see it. 

This also helps me to forecast seasonality on my properties.

It's usually not a lot, but I've had to replace a broken office chair that was only 2 years old, had better quality bed pillows been switched with cheap Walmart ones, and had a blanket go missing. 

Even my seasoned and great landlords are going to have major issues with this.

Cash out refinances have a longer seasoning period for most lenders as well! 

The overall inventory is higher due to the season.
